Am I Ready to Order?

[mfmbcpman 10+ year member]

I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me if I'm missing anything or something doesn't add up. I'm ordering from Crutchfield for my first car audio install since their support is so great. Currently, I have a Pioneer 6900UB HU installed. All of this in a 93 Camry with stock 80 amp alternator.

1 Alpine MRP-M500 500W x 1 Mono Power Amp $199.99

1 Fosgate Punch P450.4 60W x 4 $169.99

2 Alpine SWE-1043 10" Single 4 Ohm Voice Coil $129.99

4 Polk Audio db651s 6-1/2" Slim 2-ways $149.99

1 MTX Bass Slammer BS210S Dual 10" Box $79.99

Now, I don't know what wiring I need. I also have a Rockford Fosgate 2 amp wiring kit for $119.99. It includes

# 17 feet of 4-gauge power cable

# 6 feet of 8-gauge power cable

# 3 feet of 4-gauge ground cable

# 6 feet of 8-gauge ground cable

# 20 feet of 18-gauge turn-on lead wire

# two 16-foot twisted pair RCA patch cables

# 30 feet of 16-gauge speaker wire

# ANL/MAXI fuse holder and 100-amp fuse

# two 4-gauge to 8-gauge distribution blocks

What types and how many feet of other cables will I need? Finally, what ways can I reduce the cost of this without sacrificing quality(I care about quality more than loudness)? Thanks for reading and hopefully answering.

since you'll be running a mono block and a 4 channel your going to need another set of rca's and you'll also probably need to get more than 30 feet of speaker cable with all those speakers being run off the amp that'll be in the rear

Do other places have similar support? I like that if I have a problem I can just call them for free and get help. And they have specific instructions for my car.

Should I order from somewhere else? I thought it was a good deal to get the speaker harnesses and brackets for free plus installation instructions.

Many guys order the HU from them to get the free install stuff and just order the other stuff from someplace much cheaper.

You can get all the help you need on here...

the installation instructions are helpful, other than that you can make the mounting brackets/baffles out of MDF. the speaker harness will not be needed as you are not hooking the speakers to the stock run of speaker wires that come from the HU. you will have to run new speaker wire from where the amp is located all the way into your doors. you will have to get some female connectors to plug them into the speakers though.

before you finalize your order go to,

onlinecarstereo.com

millionbuy.com

sonicelectronix.com

and even woofersetc.com and see if you can find any deals that will give you a cheaper grand total.
